Doesn't matter
You get 1 gear piece
Directly in your inventory
Per clear of a levelling dungeon
For your job
and chests along the main route
side room chests give nothing really
save for like.... cheap crafting mats
is there a way to turn off targeting my allies in PvP?
does this mean i cant do another leve until 8? i dont remember when i did my last leve
You get 3 leve allowances per 12 hours
i see, so maybe this one is not working because im underlevel then
i swear im at the taurus spawn but i cant find him for my hutning log lol
nvm
Consult WeskAlber guide on YouTube
Or this but it’s aimed at level 80
!faq ninguide
There's probably a stormblood guide somewhere for level 70 but that's a terrible fucking idea
ill delte

oh of course thats a spoilier duhhh
That's 55 ish so you're fine just keep with msq
what does a heart by an item in the marketboard mean?
whats 65ish?
The dungeon where you did that spoiler
wow I'm only 57
The heart means its wishlisted and being watched
I believe
not by me though
How would I go about finding DR Savage groups? Are there servers dedicated to this?
what's the best method to transfer items between different characters on your account?
You're always gonna need a third person, either a friend, or an FC chest of people you trust.
Is Gathering or Perception more important for Mining?
does gathering increase yield then?
it might increase yield, if you don't hit the breakpoint for 100%
alright thanks
Gathering is only gather rate
Both are equally important to hit breakpoints
Gathering is all about hitting breakpoints for node bonuses
what does gather rate mean then? Speed?
The chance you have to gather the item?
Your success chance
It kinda is because gear
what are the use of company seals beside buying from the company shop?
When you turn off visible headgear, is it invisble for everyone else?
you can buy glamour prisms
guess ill sink into that
and sell them on MB for cold hard cash
how much?
how much is a glamour prism?
200 seals
hum
also if the market for glamour prisms is goes less than 200 gil, then sink seals into glamour dispellers
which usually sell for more
but lower volume
checking my prices rq

I have a very stupid question: how do you time LB as tank? I never use it, but notice the skill duration is pretty short. so how do you suppose to block boss' mass attack (which has a pretty long duration)
simply put, u don't use tank LB
It's instant for tanks
In general tank LB in emergency is only used in super high end content when you know you fucked up
You just learn the timing for the 2 fights you'll actually use it in as a casual player
glamour prism on my world goes for 200ish
Like, the most notable emergency tank LB use I can think of is e9s towers but you have a dead person
and dispelers for 240ish
huh I still don't understand...
check cordials
250
whats LB?
Limit Break
powerful skills in dungeons and raids that do different things based on your class and class type
when d you get access to it
first dungeon
but
limit is a shared ressource
u fill it by doing combat
light party have 1 bar
full party have 2
starting the final boss of a dungeon
add 1 bar
sorry, i meant how do you use it
looks like someone in your world crashed the market recently, or your world is just a buyer's market.
some worlds are buyers markets, others are sellers markets
what abilities
light parties have 2 and full parties have 3
during the final boss*
ohhhhh
what's ur class rq?
rq?
real quick
what do you mean when say rq
they mean real quick
what's ur class real quick
oh i thought it was some french shorthand
right now i'm tank but i read that tanks shouldnt use it
lmso
ye tank don't use LB
outside of specific stuff
LB priority goes to the melee dps
or ranged/caster if there is more than one enemy
I bought a bunch crystarium gear yesterday... and now its completely gone? Not in any of my inventories, I only have the belt left which happened to be the first item i bought. Really confused right now, anyone have any ideas?
check your armory inventory
Ive checked every inventory
Do /isearch Crystarium
Only the belt

basically each LB do:
Melee dps: powerful single target
Ranged dps: powerful hit in a line
Caster dps: powerful hit in an aoe
Tank: fat damage reduction to party
Healer: fat heal to the party + LB lvl 3 revive dead teammates
@rose current
each level of LB just make it stronger
more damage/defence/heal
Weird, i didnt desynth around that time or anything. Whatever, not really worth that much
thanks
That feeling when you summon Demi-Bahamut for the first time
How does the rotation work?
so these icons are meant to unlock new features, why do some quests have these without unlocking features?
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/quest/0046158b1a0/ example, this one
Cause it's a chain
so, if the first one unlocks a feature, all of them are "feature quests"
That's part of the Ananta beast tribe chain
oof... I went through all the quests on the wikis to check what feature they unlock, didn't specify anything
where can i get that stuff for the 80 illdyshire alchemist weapon?
Why does Akhmorning only have caster guides?
does anyone know what chat log filter the 'you gain 7000 experience points' spam is under?
Cause they're a primarily a caster site and don't have that many writers
Am I able to change my pet name or no? Lol XD
best place is probably one of the wikis, although you might have to check what the english name of the items are, as I'm not sure which ones have multiple languages
check ingredients there, it gives you seller locations
they dont have it -_-
is there kinda requirement?
Maybe it's tied to MSQ level, do you have that to 80 too?
What do you need to purchase a FC house? Rank 6 FC + 4 members in FC?
Anything else?
I've seen some vendor stock being tied to certain MSQ milestones
have you unlocked the eulmore house of splendors?
not done with shadowbringer yet
but my gf is currently grinding her stuff with miner while she isnt even in shadowbringer so
that sounds a bit weird
Does Red Mage get something that makes it significantly more fun at higher levels? I've played around with it for a bit and I don't get the appeal.
It gets stuff added onto its melee combo as extra finishers
can i not do hoh at 60lvl?
there's no direct player to player trade is there? As in if I want to just give an item to someone?
you get more buttons as you level, and can get more melee
level 61
there is
not 60
some items are explicitly not tradable though
Does the daily roulette still give good exp past lvl 55 or all the way to 80?
Oh nvm I see the option lol
right, tyty
all the way to 80
do it once a day
thanks
pretty sweet ideea
great way to get mmo exp players in lower dungeound and have fun!
do alliance raid roulette also for more exp, and beast tribe quests
is it normal that my game is downloading 18GB even though I played like 2 hours ago?
@last sapphire Pardon my ignorance but what are beast tribe quests
daily quests for reputation with a beast tribe
https://i.imgur.com/FavbtqP.png how do I get here ;-;
I've been walking around forever
Second floor of anyx trine
i
Pathway into the mountain
For realsies
Yes I went all the way up lol
life is pain
and by the way... that quest is EPIC
my stupidity is pain
meaning that quest line
don't go full snoop dogg, way too high
I may or may not have missed it the first time too
necromancy bad
resurrection isnt bringing back the dead
resurrection just brings you back from a KO, not from death.
its bringing back someone from a knockedout/unconcious state
I never knew that, the hecc
So if someone has 0 health points they're just vibing in limbo?
nope
its just rng?
they're unconscious yes
you can only shuffle with 7 or less
what are these orbs i keep finding and can't interact with?
You can only shuffle stickers at 7 or less
if you get to 7 without a line, just re-roll until you get one
they're sightseeing points
sightseeing log
Sightseeing logd
sightseeing
Most are /lookout
there's indicators for those ?! thank you!
and here I thought that was because I didn't unlock sightseeing until I reached HW
yeah there's indicators for everything after ARR
i heard you can use tomestones of poetics to buy glamour items, where would I go to do this?
There are different Tomestone vendors for each expansion, and also the centralized <Rowena's Representative> NPCs at each main city aetheryte
is that different from the sundry vendor i bought my augmented ironworks from?>
You can’t
That's what they're called
It’s all actual gear
Not just glam outfits
you can use that gear as glam, I guess xD?
well why do endgame players sit through prae?
Relic stuff
ohhhhh
you use poetics to buy things you need for relics?
okay that and alt jobs makes a lot of sense why people stick through prae
thank god Yoshi P played wow and knows how mmo players play mmos
praetorium?
yeah
yeah it gives you 600 poetics witht he roulette
nope
and the two EX fights
weaving is so stressful as scholar when you need to click on the target before weaving. It is like one of my two weaving actions
any tips to ease this
a hotkey to target the tank (party member #2) can be useful
F2 does this by default
But my best advice is just to expect it in advance
Pre-empt when you’re going to have to ogcd heal the tank
Then be ready to click
You can also click on the party list itself to select targets
And then tab back into the enemy
What's the deal with Heavensward Aether stuff? Everytime I finish it so I can fly, I'm done in that area... So can't really use it to my benefit
Yes always use the party list
You will return to those areas in future
Ahhh ty
click on party list and then tab has been my go to until now
For MSQ stuff but also for various kinds of open world content
Such as beast tribe quests, side story quests, gathering, hunts, treasure maps
Does the Fantasia let you change name or race?
ok thank you
do you need to own the game to get married to someone or can you do it on the free trial
I mostly leave my targeting on the tank, but I never had problems clicking while side moving though.

is there a list of hair styles viera can use?
they only have access to their racial hairstyles currently
How do I get Treasure Maps?
Gathering or buy off market
I have mining, is it just random gathering drop?
what are level cap nodes? Like 50 60 70 80?
Yes
whats the best way to get crystal sand for the anima weapon?
We get credit sequence at the end of each .0 and .5 MSQ?
more or less, mal
just wondering if there are more daily main scenario choices you can join (only finished ARR atm) going forward with MSQ
the msq roulette is only prae and castrum
Oh I see
bit of a chore to do, but I will play some netflix during the cutscenes then 😄
so I just got my 9th member on the commando and have to kick someone off to recruit someone new, can I get those back if I change my mind?
ty ❤️
time left for new event ?
Do I HAVE to be in the aetherial stream in order to complete the duty it wants me to complete in it? (The Seat of Sacrifice)
Soo, a guide for blue mage levelling says to do it in a monster dense lvl 70 zone with a scholar. Would the same method also be viable to at least reach 20 in a flash with any other class?
not really
when ff15 collab release ?
tomorrow
time ?
This very monday the car event starts
reset probably
is there somewhere where i can track foxy lady fates?
or morning
8am gmt
How do I get back to the aetherial stream, in order to complete Seat Of Sacrifice?
200k mgp for the mount yes?
and a quest yea
ff15 car
Yes
Thanks
mad, ez gains
It wants me to go here, but the ferry man just says no boats are there at the moment
¯_(ツ)_/¯
The quest objective needs to turn to "use duty finder to complete" to que
I'm so fucking confused
Faded Memories is on my list of complete quests as well
weird, It should take you inside anyder
the boat guy should take you there
the name of the npc is idle shipwright
that's the ferryman
how can I throw people from two seater/four seater etc mounts while in air? (If possible)
there's an npc after the ferryman
that's the correct npc
not the ferryman
I tried both.
no
I'm just fucking confused as to how I'm on the MSQ quest Hope's Confluence
Yet I have a MSQ quest active for Faded Memories, a quest I've already completed
On the same character
that's probably your new game+
I mean the faded memories
What jobs/classes do you recommend for veteran players? I've played paladin, dark knight, dragoon, and warrior. I'm creating a new character and I want a class that's more challenging and rewarding.
not Hope Confluence
the interface looks different for ng+
level all?
ideal is to master every role and classes
allrdy tried to relog to see if it helps?
Yup. Full relog.
also isn't the hope confluence quest at/near the crystal tower in the crystarium
If I use a skill as a macro icon then it's a bit darkened cause I didn't change it to that class.
Is there a way to fix that? I was hoping I could use skills as a icon for something else, lol XD
I've leveled paladin and I'm working on dark knight
Can BLM learn any enemy action, or just from a select list?
Nope
yes, BLU
That's too bad. Thank you though, lol XD
And those spells let them solo pretty much all content? Or do they still need groups to do dungeons or raids like other jobs?
@leaden ginkgo unfortunately not sure why you're still seeing faded memories, can submit a bug report thru support desk
some need groups cause sync'd learning is 100%
and powerful spells are lv 70 trials
glass dance for example is 100% from Shiva Ex
can solo, but very low chance
better off doing it sync with other BLU
that way it's 100%, very few mechanics to learn
shiva was the most annoying one because doing it synced is a pain and you have to wait so long for glass dance if you do it unsync only to be fucked by bad RNG

other than that everything else, including Garuda Ex, aren't bad at all

Do BLU get the same loot tables?
Blue doesn't change the loot
Have they/Will they change the housing system? Would love to spend time decking out a house but I don't have the time to play spam the sign.
blu also uses regular caster gear besides from canes
which do not matter besides having meld slots for some
OK, thank you.
They're adding a lottery system in 6.1
And solo/fc only wards
@umbral void they're gonna add a lottery system where you just put in your number and then leave and wait
Oh nice so they are dividing solo housing from FC's, should free up space.
They'll shuffle the solo and fc wards around occasionally to mix people together
ff14 has me confused because games like swtor just have instances and everyone gets a house. although it does give houses more value.
I'm between trying a red mage and a black mage
blm is stand still shooty shooty boom boom
both are nice
rdm is shooty shooty boom boom but use sword sometime
Flip a coin
hello everyone. i have a question. i finished my relic weapon and i want to change its color. can you please tell me how ?
Also no red mage on trial/without dlc
Define finished
what kind of message is this? i cant find it to filter on announcements
!faq dyeicons
can't change glow colour
only the weapon colour
Between red mage and black mage, which do you recommend? I like balanced classes that are jack of all trades
That's red mage
But you should almost never use your heal
@west pond this is the final pld relic for arr dyed Black. As you can see the glow is unchanged
You can use your heal to save yourself or replace a healer in a dungeon tbh.
Hey guys idk if this is the right channel for this. I bought the starter edition and finally hit 60. What would be the smartest way to upgrade myself to the newest expansion and stuff so I can continue playing ?
If you ever have to use your heal then people are utter trash
RDM seems very friendly for prog
!faq buy
like you are very useful in the group and everyone loves you
Aiee ty @warm snow
Is there a link on which baits to use to get the rainbow event in ocean fishing?
There's different recommendations based on what you want
you just spend all resources on your burst phase and when you are chill, you can help res people
BLM, well you need to be a good player that is
Heal can also proc dual cast when there is no target.
@warm snow and which starter class do you recommend before taking up red mage?
last thing you want in your group is a BLM that keep dying and deal DPS less than the healer
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Whatever you want
Black mage will get you used to casting.
Arcanist into summoner would probably be a closer equivalent
Considering how blm mobility works
Summoner playstyle is completely different with constant double weaving. The most weaving you do with RDM is fleche/contre sixte and corps-a-corps/displacement

Thanks!
Maintaining your DoTs is also important and red mage has none. Black mage has one but you get it back for free basically.
That's where you're wrong kiddo

Former PS4 player here looking to buy the game on PC. Just asking if i do indeed buy the game will i get a free 30 days with it like the other times i purchased it? Or does that only work once per service account
Yes you will
The 30 day applies ONCE PER PLATFORM
so you can get up to 90 free play days from purchases alone
how do i check the number of aether currents i've gotten?
Aether currents are listed in your menus
aight thanks
Gshade or GeForce which one is better
Most presets are made with GShade
since it works on both AMD and NVIDIA cards
I think
Another question is that i orginally pre orded endwalker on PS4 Cause im pretty dumb and of course you get the earrings with it when you do. since im not gonna pre order it untill later on, do the earings just dissapear untill i do?
The pre order bonus should be universal
The pre order code is universal at any rate
What is the recommended gshade to use
thats good, i wasnt really gonna be bent if i didnt but that 200% EXP bonus on Alt jobs was spicy
good to know then
Because early access is a universal "lets you play during EA while we yell at physical shipping to get your order to you on time"
that being said there's no physical CD this time so it's just a legacy system now 
subjective
Well it's still a pre order incentive
but generally a preset that doesn't impact your performance too much
Subjective
does anyone know if they will make more head gear available for Viera down the road? au'ra and miquote can wear head gear, admittedly its not as prominent as long bunny ears
I don't know how you tell me
cause you probably didn't install any
Unknown
If they do, it'll be with Endwalker. There's no news however
Oh
I dont want to fantasia back just to wear nice hats 😦
Theres no definite news
I see, thank you
CM tool?
or is there another mod that you can use that has persistent gear display thru instances
Nexus is being protested and a lot of modders are pulling their shit so mod archive is probably better atm
Although watch out for all the nsfw shit
to be fair you shouldn't really have to use those mods anyways, and besides tektools there's not really too many prerequisite mods for FFXIV like script extender
But that's for another time
How do I decipher timeworn map? I can't find the skill in the skill window
ooh
!quest Treasure and Tribulations
!quest Treasures and Tribulations
That one
thank you
does anyone know if you need to be level 50 with 2.0 msq finished to buy the car for the ffxv collab event?
yes
so you gotta do the quest to have it available?
Yes
Did ||Nero participate with the Alexandar stuff||?
No
Got it thanks!~
He was busy fucking around looking for our 3.55 deus ex machnica
His reintroduction ||happened at end of 3.5 for omega right||?
Right
Got it
Pun intended
Technically there's also crystal tower
Wait he participated in that?
Never noticed lol
Yeah
Hun, cool


He ||gets kidnapped into the void by CoD||
Oh cool, did he ||also helped when trying to enter the tower||?
Yeah I really should do Crystal Tower again
Then ng+ shadowbringers
And how would I install them
Anyone know where I can get the red panda minion? I saw someone with it and it’s so darn cute
I recommend being in party chat so you don't mess up lmfao
I got the xiv launcher
you can get it from mb, aery or from potd
Ohh is the drop rate low?
Quite
Dungeon minions are pretty rare
Does being in an undersized party affect the drop rate?
No
Dope
Damn my game looks so pretty and not wash out
What type of plug-ins should I get
up to you
What is the most useful plug-ins
Oh
If you wanna get into gathering
GatherBuddy
Market Board is a super useful one
There's some handy ones
But nothing MANDATORY
There's one for minions and orchestrion rolls but I don't remember what it's called
Hey can someone boost me until I can do the level roulette
Ok
theres no feasible method due to synching down and all, and if its done unsynched, you get no rewards from dungeons
also this channel isn't for those kinds of questions
Ok cool
Currently doing msq, any advice choosing between gear for later classes and allagan pieces, and advice on what to do with caches?
You'll get tons of poetics during the post game of each expansion, just gear your current job first
K so once you level one job up, gearing gearing during leveling gets pretty easy?
Can heavsward be completed in 2-days
if you're dedicated and don't sleep maybe
I'm running 73 fps 
That's where you're wrong kiddo
sweet!
@unborn geode patch content that's not arr is fantastic
So I upgraded to the complete digital collectors edition, I won't actually get every bonus item until I get to the expansions?
that is so good to hear!
The base engine is not designed for super high fps so if you try push it past that odds are you'll have issues. Fair warning
No, you get them now
When you upgrade to it
You should get them all at once
I only got the behemoth pet and helm of light no mounts or anything else
Sounds like you only bought one upgrade
I bought the 80 dollar upgrade
Is your mail full?
No
And when did you upgrade?
Today
More specific
Just now
Yeah, wait a bit probably in processing
Game is good, so I buy everything to complete it
One mount down, only another hundred+ to go
can u carry 9,999 of all elemental shard/crystals/clusters?
Yes
So during msq the coffers are basically just used to save money right? They just give stuff that you could buy, yeah?
Well yes but actually no
With all the mods I have on

Should I add more
They'll give hq quality gear which will actually have stats proportional to their item level. You can't buy hq gear only nq which is way worse
I neither know nor care as that's subjective.
How would you quantify the worth of using low ilvl hq gear vs high ilvl nq gear

Where's ilvl?
ilvl 273
while the NQ version would be the same ilvl, the amount of stats it gives is not quite appropriate

Hey guys I have a little question what time is ffxv event dropping
Kk ty
https://saltedxiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/DRG_Opener_New-1536x435.png
Why are the oGCD attacks delayed until the end of the damage buffs, why not just right away?
alignment
If you don't have increased mount speed in an area, what haven't you done?
with other raid buffs
hey how do you decrease the light effect of spells?
I dont want to get rid of it entirely just decrease a bit so I can see what's going on
Other raid buffs are only cast after those first four GCDs? And in that case, why don't we delay ours?
Msq, unless it's <CURRENT EXPANSION> cuz you don't get mount speed up for free in that
When flying exists it doesn’t matter
depends on the movement speed you're talking about and the zone itself. for the first tier, most of the time its because you haven't gotten to the appropriate msq
It depends on the job
Cause otherwise you'll miss getting buffed chaos thrust
Ahh, so other raid buffs are cast after four GCDs, but we -do- want to buff our own Chaos Thrust, so we use them somewhat early and still have overlap with the raidwides?
But delay the oGCD jumps to benefit from the raidwides
Because of its position in your combo (disembowel route) you can't get your initial chaos thrust with all raid buffs. But you can get it with all your buffs
Yea I’m guessing that’s the case
what is this blue bar that is almost red my chest armor? i just repaired it... :/
that's spiritbond
Spiritbond
Okay, I think I get it.
ah ok and how does that work? what happens when goes to red?
spiritbond is basically just gear EXP
Speaking of raidwide buffs, is there a general consensus on when they (should) happen? I know most cookie cutter openings take that knowledge into account already, but
when it's full you can get materia via extraction
I've defeated Titan, and there are low level areas, that are weird, like I'm fast in western Thanalan but slow in Eastern Thanalan.
You don't have enough MSQ progress for the first speed upgrade in east thanalan
without destroying?
According to opener then on cooldown unless there's a mechanic that will prevent people actually getting use out of them but if you need to ask you're probably not doing that content
It's been that way for a while yes
Materia no longer destroys gear
You've only got enough msq progress in those parts of Thanalan to unlock it
Right, so basically after four GCDs from the start, and then on cooldown
got ya ok i take long breaks and and come back for new content so sorry to sound like a noob lol
It broke your gear pre shadowbringers so that's fair enough
so i accidentally got rid of a trial guildleve to unlock leves in that area and im wondering how to reobtain it
Go back to the level npc

where exactly is it?
Hi all! I am new, just downloaded the free trial with a friend. We're interested in playing together on a regular basis. I know we can't party up as long as neither of us has bought the game. Two questions. Second, at what point should one of us buy the game so we can party up (e.g. what level, what point in the story, etc)? Second, what is co-op gameplay like and what should we expect? I understand there is a lot of stuff that is single-player only
- Whenever you feel comfortable paying sub, but for max value, the end of 3.X
This is a final fantasy game first, mmo second. So the story will have to be played largely solo. You can party up for dungeons and trials but there will be plenty of solo content via job quests etc.
party comps by role and duty type (so y'all don't stack 2 tanks for example and be locked out of dungeons together)
Dungeons - 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps
trials and normal raids - 2 tanks, 2 healers, 4 dps
alliance raids - 1 tank, 2 healers, 5 dps
You can kindly ask someone who owns the game to inv you both to party, then they leave, and you both stay in party together :) @rich crane
as for gameplay itself
Honestly, everyone has to pull their own weight
Even if you both log out and come back you'll still be in party together
ooh that's an awesome solution! How do I talk to someone to do that? I think the tell and shout functions are unavailable in the free trial
just ask in the middle of a city
usually limsa cause it's the most populated on average
can you describe to me what dungeons and trials are like in comparison to the main story quests?
What mentor Lynn said already
The msq will make you go through dungeons and trials but and you can do them together but there's still tons of mandatory solo content
Does savage content have the same comps?
yes
about how many hours is each expansions MSQ without patch content?
Trials are 8 people versus 1 big ol' boss
Normal raids are the same
Dungeons are 4 people crawling through a dungeon (what a surprise) killing trash mobs and multiple bosses
Plenty of add clear, dungeons have varying degrees of mechanics (from having to clear debuffs by standing on a specific spot to literal minigames)
People have been known to drop a tank and or healer for some content but that's a for experts type thing
maybe this is me being super technically stupid here, but how do I talk to other people? sorry for the dumb question 😅
30-40 hours at least. It'll vary largely
Oh so raids aren't like WoW where you have like 10 bosses you need to defeat?
Nope
raids are sooo much better than wow
Each series of normal raids has 3 tiers and 4 bosses each
But they're seperate fights
so you don't fight them all in a row
There are ALLIANCE raids, which are 3 parties of 8, against a series of bosses & some trash filler. Normal raids are, mostly, just the one boss each
so 12 seperate fights total
Ohhhhhh I see
Alliance raids are basically 3 parties of 1 tank, 2 healers and 5 dps (24 people total)
multiple bosses, cool mechanics, some kind of theme for 3 of those
so for example the alliance raids for Shadowbringers are Nier themed (Like 2B, Yorha etc.)
excuse my ignorance, what does "3.X" mean?
Do the 3 parties kill the boss all together?
Heavensward, any patch
yes
You're essentialy split into 3 parties and some fights have 3 bosses that each party takes down separately or 1 boss you all fight together
including the post launch patches
I just want to point out here that full premade groups bypass role requirements
ok, thank you, that's useful!
So if you REALLY WANT TO, you could do an ultimate fight as 8 tanks (ultimate being a really hard trial essentially)
(And yes, 8 tanks ultimate fight was already done
)
They're more a boss rush
Not just a trial
And only 1 ult is doable like that
TEA hasn't been cleared and uwu is impossible
8 tank ucob was done
Because no LB other than tank is needed and the dps check's a joke
but generally speaking you'll have standard compositions
Whats the best use of excess yellow gatherers scrips? Are the folklore tomes useful?
folklore tomes are used to get rarer mats
they're also required if you want the glowy achievement tools
for dungeons, trails, raids, etc, are these comps are required? In other words, if there are only two of us, no matter what we'll have to find other people?
Duty Finder matches you with other people
there is a matchmaker for all but the hardest content
It'll make sure you have the correct composition and you will not be able to queue up if you do not match the composition (So you can't queue up for a dungeon matchmake as 2 tanks)
If you make a party beforehand you can do whatever comp you want
Thanks! Is there any use to them at this point? Want to maximize gil for yellow gatherers scrips, if theres actually any better use of them.
I'm not sure to be honest
I spent mine on gear and haven't looked into what i can spend them on to get gil
do apartments give default storage of any sortt?
Apartments are only housing
They do not provide any storage
Yes open the housing menu
People have done some all tank runs with alliance raids
can they get storage?
So, diving into the DPS jobs now. All guides for rotations seem pretty strict with how your buffs align and whatnot, but often bosses do not allow you to follow your rotation properly. Invincibility phases, weirdly placed AoEs etc.
Is it better to just freestyle and use all the things whenever they come off cooldown? Should buffs just not be used and kept until you can resync your rotations? Does it depend on the job itself? (leveling DRG at the moment)
only furniture
You can store your furniture
what about other storage, can they get it?
You will have to adjust your rotation to make up for downtime
or is that only for real housing
Freestyles is your issue here.
Thanks so much @regal pawn
Theres no reason to do that on a job like Dragoon where the rotation is neatly and logically laid out for yoy
Only thing you can freestyle is your exit from the party 
Using stuff on Cooldown is what you do, buffs will naturally line up with constant use
so you can't get storage from apartments at all?
Only furniture
other than furniture storage?
Downtime just means either use it sooner or hold for after
If you want general storage, you're looking for a Retainer
not even for glamour or the like?
ah
You get 400 gear slots in a glamour dresser
alrighty
and 170 item slots per retainer
If you're in a random party, play as though you have 0 control over them (which is always going to be the case) and do your rotation correctly
yeah my retainers are fine
And don't worry about what they'll do
I can get a bell for my apartment, right?
340 for free
additional retainers can be obtained on mogstation for a monthly fee, up to 8 total retainers
and yes
how much are they
Depends on your world
ah, AH
What's /snap motion for? Lol XD
snapping your fingers
That's what I'm asking though, on a dummy I can keep up the rotations just fine. But when a boss starts jumping places and then goes invincible for 20 seconds, these perfect rotations are messed up.
Adjusting for downtime is fight specific stuff
damned, no bells available on my server
For the most part if you don't know, then just pick up where you left off
Oh ok. Thanks pal, lol XD
Use the world travel system
:P
Either of the 3 starter cities
you can use the big aetheryte to travel to other worlds on your data centre
it's useful for meeting friends on the same dc or getting stuff that's not available on your world currently or is too expensive
I'm still leveling DRG, the question came to me during the bird+robot fight in Dalriada, when the robot goes invincible and the bird is all over the place.
I could use my buffs, sure, but my gcd rotation totally went weird. And I wasn't sure if it was better to delay the next set of buffs, or just keep using them and say whatever
surprised Crystal - Mateus has none
If its really fight specific, I'll just go with "it doesnt matter" for now
(DRK Job Quest spoilers) Fray's ||gender matches the player character||, correct?
"Adjusting on the fly" is a really good skill to pick up
It takes some time
but once you know the ins and outs of your rotation, you can make up for downtime or errors without losing any GCDs down the line
Also, knowing the fight is good as it lets you plan it out more
So I should delay my buffs and adjust the rotation so it makes sense again?
I was afraid that delaying my buffs to do that is just a straight up huge DPS loss since I'm well, not using resources.
The question you need to ask yourself here is, "will I lose a use later if I hold it now" and if the answer is yes just use it
☝️
Having the ability come back half way through downtime is better than delaying it throughout the downtime
If the downtime is long enough you can just reset and do a reopener
Okay, so the amount of uses is more important than the particular alignment with skills. Ideally I'd have both, but worst case, more uptime of buffs is better.
The more potency you're dishing out the better
Right, that makes sense. And once I get good enough, I can adjust my buffs to make sure the right skills fall under them again. But until that point, actually using the buffs will give more overall potency than waiting until they fit the ideal rotation.
What's Danger Bongos? Lol XD
type in /echo <se.6> in your chat
And you will understand
Oh wow, lol XD
But to put it simply
Bongo sound effect
I see, lol XD
Hi guys, my friend have been struggling with communication in English server for years. Is there any Spanish server I can recommend to her?
What's the bare minimum GCD uptime percentage that's considered "not being a frickin burden on seven other players"?
She is used to English texts, however, Savage is not easy for her due to miscommunications among team member.
Spanish no

Japanese, English, deutsch and francais
Ok thank you
Soz dude
How are action bars managed?
you can use all 10 hotbars at the same time
Also each class and job has separate hotbars
You can however turn on sharing
Where?
Oh hotbar settings
You CAN set bars to Shared, the unupgraded class's hotbars can be used to make neat little popup bars
But if you start making more custom layouts, you're quickly gonna use more
yeah
You can use macros to create expandable little menus
Going from 3 almost full hotbars of gear sets to seven buttons was awesome
2 bucks? Lol
Seasonal events are pretty much always different afaik with old rewards going on the mogstation for noticeably less than mogstation only items
This includes Christmas, valentines, Halloween, summer, the rising and make it rain
I think that's all the regular ones
Oh Chinese New year
Forgot about that
Slightly confused. If I buy the endwalker dig. collectors, do I get the current released expansions now, or do I get it when endwalker releases?
Debating whether to purchase the game now, or wait until november to continue past heavensward.
Release
You preordered dlc that includes the old expansions. It's all one bundle that you'll get in November
Or you can buy shadowbringers now which will include stormblood
That's actually a really good deal since heavensward comes with the trial now.
The trial is stupid generous tbf
So is there any way to buy head clothing? I looked everywhere and I couldn’t find a merchant or a shop, I need it for a quest
how hard is it to solo POTD
To floor 200?
ye
Very
Should find it at merchants/independent armourers/battlecraft vendors

Extremely
I’m any city or in the town where that quest is located
Even some rng with it
well shit
You're pretty much locked to 2(3?) Jobs
Game just says fuck you at times
I’m at uhh where lancers start
Don't let that stop you though
All jobs have done it...but yeaaah

hey guys im slightly new to the game but not as much anymore. been working on tank classes a lot especially drk now, but ran into the gnb today and am kinda loving it. is this a tank i can use in dungeons, that has good defense and party utility? i know its more dps focused compared my my main dark knight, but is the gunbreaker any good? can it be used anywhere and as often as my dark knight? any help or tips woujld be greatly appreciated on how to utilize gunbreaker or just have fun with it
is there a way to disable BGM when someone is performing nearby, aside from just turning off BGM?
Really? Other than traps it seems relatively easy
all tanks are viable
You also have to have enough dps to beat the enrage
And you have to be careful that you don't pull extra mobs
can duty roulette give you duties you haven't completed?
True I suppose I am lucky I'm ranged dps
i know they are all viable (tanks are probably the most balanced and most fun classes for me so far) im just making sure the guy flaming me earlier for using a gnb, i asked why i wasnt getting healed much and he kept saying next tmie use a tank and not a dps class, and i was just really confused
i was doing agreat job i thought
yea i was barely taking dmg and he wasnt healing at all so i mean
but yeah
You can also have mobs path into you
i love the warrior i have a lvl 65 warrior 🙂
If you're HP isn't 0 then you're fine

And if you don't have a trap or sight pomade then its just luck to not step on a trap
You're being healed as long ad your hp isn't 0
yea it seemed like he was prob just being a dick bc i thought the gnb was almost too good to be a tank earlier when i picked it up hahaha
The only healthpoint that matters is the last one
All the other health points are just a shield
Just cause you don't see a cast bar doesn't mean they're not healing
Just stick to walls
Dreamers can be taken care of in hallways
So you were dying?
There are no traps in hallways
Like died flat out
*roamers
he was letting me get redlined so id use a potion then call me a dps, and say next time choose a real tank
no idea why since i was running the group
If your hp isn't 0 then you're fine
brokey ? ;-;
That's how healers heal
but yeah
Their tools are stupidly broken
i do that sometimes too but he was just being odd what he qwaas saying

bc i chose a tank so
Is there a way for me to have countdown as a macro icon?
sounds like a god complex healer
Gnb being a dps is a meme anyway
You were using defensive CDs right?
and yeah, what Vinyl said
yea meara
Then you're fine
